Nirvana in prime form- Feb 04, 2010
I had heard about this coming out and was excited to see a concert on DVD that was well spoken of. I saw them only once in concert live and it was on the last tour they did before Kurt died. It was at a fairground in Ogden Utah, and I remember crappy sound and alot of mud, ect. This testament to the genius of the band is worth every penny to true fans. Nice to see them in true form. Fans, don't miss it!
GREAT CONCERT Jan 31, 2010
FOR THE ONES WHO LOVE THIS KIND OF MUSIC THIS CONCERT IS ONE OF A KIND.
MUST HAVE FOR MUSIC LOVERS
 Raw insight of the band that changed modern music Dec 31, 2009
This concert was fortunate to be preserved in time for the enjoyment of all future generations, to offer insight into the culture of an era that redefined the polished trend of music. This is a phenomenal concert.
Part of what makes this DVD great is how unrefined the final product is. Parts where the band faltered were left in instead of edited out. One instance of this is very apparent in "Sliver" where Kurt Cobain starts the song off singing off key, holds back a laugh, and continues to try to find the right note. I would have been exceedingly disappointed if this was edited out. Everything about this concert has been done in tune with the philosophy of the grunge movement in the late 80s and early 90s. Everything from the on stage stumbling dancer Tony Hodgkinson (who "still writes all [their] songs," =) to the chanting of the crowd, singing the songs with equal vocal force against the amplifiers of the band.
Its the small things which make this show interesting. The crowd roaring the lyrics of "Dumb," which was not even on an album yet, and Krist remarks "The power of the bootleg, Kurt!" the tongue in cheek sense of humor of Kurt Cobain being wheeled out to the microphone in a blond wig, all make this an "must have" for any Nirvana fan.
That said, this dvd does have its downside.
For one, some critics have called this "the greatest concert of all time," and while despite being a huge Nirvana fan for years, this simply is not true. Its a great concert, but it by no means tops the performances of Woodstock and various other legendary events.
Another issue, which I actually decided not to give the 5th star for, was the lack of interviews or bonus features. I would have loved to have seen some interviews with Dave, Krist, Kurt, or even zombie dancer Tony Hodgkinson (sure, mark me down as a Hodgkinson fan now too. It takes stones to be a one man dancing troop!)
Altogether though, great show, great set-list, and an amazing era in music, which still continues to have a solid impact on music being written over 17 years later. This is going to be a dvd you'll kick yourself 20 years from now if you don't get your hands on a copy.
